Please take the time and effort to give a detailed description of what you problem is. Then maybe I will take the time to help you because as of right now I have no clue what you are asking about.

Yeah, if you would, try to give us the best description you can, and we will give you the best answer we can...

But from the info, you have either given or the info I understand, hot glue is not the option you should take. Hot glue may hold fine at 20 psi, but at 100 it will have already shot off. Try epoxy putty, since it's like clay, you can use it on any leak you may have, and it will most definitely have no problem at 100 psi... Right?

Edit: Spelling

Edit, again: Check out Biopyro's new topic, it may help you, too!

best i could get of the piston inside the tee

i post this in showcase once i get damage shots
( no barrel yet)

So you're saying that the piston is not sealing against the barrel port?

To take close up pictures, press the little flower on your camera, this is called macro mode.

Take a picture of the piston if you can too. Does it have a sealing face?

Can't see anything again. Did you use macro mode?

Sounds like it could be leaking past the hole in the rubber where the nail is. Did you use a washer or is it just the nail?

I think he used just a nail.

just a nail this last picture of the broken hose barb i did use the mico mode ( the flower) i need more practice taking pictures but ya i got bored and it broke me being stupid
lol

there no washer it just hot glue and the nail i be talking pic of the piston for you guys when i get a new hose barb
